Welcome to the East Gwillimbury Chamber of Commerce website. It is intended as a resource for residents and businesses both in the town, and beyond. When you are looking for a product or service, turn to the “Find a business” page. Chances are you will be able to find what you want from the wide variety of member businesses. The ease of access to global information is very powerful – but so is the availability and access to goods and services in our own backyard. I encourage you to “shop local”.

If you are a business owner and not yet a Chamber member, please browse the site to find out what we are all about. We offer many member benefits including business-to-business discounts on a wide variety of products and services, networking opportunities such as monthly breakfast meetings and after hours events, and an annual business awards gala, and much more. Please contact our office for more information.

The East Gwillimbury Chamber of Commerce is a very dynamic and dedicated group – we look forward to serving you.

President, the East Gwillimbury Chamber of Commerce
 

Networking and Special Events

The East Gwillimbury Chamber provides a forum for business owners to exchange leads and information. Every month there is a breakfast meeting, featuring a sponsor business. This event is always well attended and fun! If the breakfast time does not work for you try our “After Hours” events with networking at a “host” business – in the past we have done everything from fishing to theatre to browsing in an antique store! Once a year we have a Gala event with awards in different categories. Members and guests enjoy a dinner, speaker and social networking.

Member Services

The web site is just one service that is available to members to feature their business. There is also a comprehensive Business Directory listing all current members. Newsletters and E-voice announcements keep members in tune with new information, upcoming events, and available member to member discounts. The office informs the members of upcoming events both within the Chamber and in the greater Region. Another essential service we offer members is a Group Life Insurance and Benefits programme.

Administrative Services, Information and Education

The Chamber has an efficient office staff who keep members informed of all the Chamber has to offer. This pillar reviews the By-Laws, policy and procedures, the finances and reports annually to the membership. On the educational side, we offer informative speakers throughout the year including Small Business Week and an annual CPR training day.

Advocacy and Outreach

The mission of this pillar is to act as the voice of the Chamber and its members through various committees. For example, in the Town of East Gwillimbury, a member of the Board sits on the Town’s Business Development Committee and Councillor Marlene Johnston represents the Town at the Chamber Board Meetings. A highlight of the year is the Mayor and Council Luncheon when we meet the Councillors and Town staff members. We hear first hand, future plans for our area. Other close relationships are shared with the Ontario and regional Chambers of Commerce.
